Michael Jordan was a little confused, not because he was confused personally, but because of the team's weird performance.

The first three games were played very anxiously. The Bulls had one win and one loss at home, but they couldn't control the situation when they came to the away game.

"The Bulls are unlucky. They injured two players in a row, and now it becomes difficult to play." The commentator was surprised. He did not expect that the Bulls suffered consecutive injuries.

The Bulls, the most popular team before the game, were given an advantage by the Nets due to injuries.But even so, the Bulls' advantage is obvious. Their main lineup remains intact and they can completely beat the Nets.

"Do the Nets have any hope of defeating the arrogant Bulls?" Many fans began to fantasize.

If you can beat the Bulls, it will make a new history.The Nets reached the finals for the first time after entering the NBA.

"That's Carter. I don't know if he can block Jordan's fierce impact. But he has to kill Jordan first." Nets fans were already passionate and shouting wildly. Every Nets player is a hero.

Vince Carter controls the basketball and facing Jordan is indeed a bit stressful.

At this time, the two teams are evenly divided, and there are still 3 minutes left. If they can take the opportunity to open the score, the Nets will gain the advantage and the pressure will be much less.

"Vince, injuries will not affect my performance. I will become stronger." Jordan whispered softly. He didn't want to lose and must defeat his opponent at any time.Even if the team loses two players, they still want to continue winning.

"Michael, listen to me, you have always been the strongest player, I'm just a challenger. I don't care how others play, I want to confront you head-on." After finishing speaking, Carter passed the ball, "I It’s about finding better opportunities.”

Rashid supported the ball from the high post, attracted the defense, and passed the ball again to the baseline position.It happened to be the position where Brent Barry was lurking. He had just set up a pick-and-roll with Jason Williams and was already open.

Pippen didn't pay attention and was blocked behind Williams, and Kukoc didn't follow the perimeter.

Brent Barry took a deep breath, caught the ball and shot it. He only scored 5 points in this game, and there was a better chance at this time.Take decisive action and hit the target steadily!

"It's great. I practiced three-pointers for a whole year, and it finally paid off." Brent Barry's three-pointers are not bad. Even if he can't win the three-pointer contest, he has been improving. , became his regular scoring method and the most important scoring point on the Nets bench.

Brent Barry's scoring ability is slightly better than Robert Parker. Parker mainly attacks the inside, while Barry shoots from the outside.

"I knew you were going to score, good job, Brent." Carter encouraged Barry, and then quickly defended, "Guys, defend!"

He will face Jordan's impact again.However, Carter has adapted. Even if he can't guard Jordan, he can still put enough pressure on him. This is enough. Jordan's personal ability is really unstoppable.

It's the same if it's someone else defending.

Michael Jordan did not attack directly this time, causing damage to the inside.However, Ben, who had just come off the bench, directly gave Luke Longley a vicious foul, giving the opponent no chance for an easy layup.

"Don't try to score easily." Big Ben roared.

He's just rough, but his hands hurt enough, and he uses both hands and feet to pull people off easily.Luke Langley was not even as athletic as Big Ben, so he had to go to the free throw line.

boom!The first free throw was confiscated, and I rubbed my wrist. I had no choice but to withstand the pressure and try again.

This time it hit, the sound of swish was very crisp.

There is still a gap of 2 points.The basketball was in Cassell's hands, and Cassell slowly controlled it. Facing Ron Harper, he grinned, possessed by aliens, and suddenly pressed inside.

Carter and Brent Barry quickly spaced out, both lurking down the line.Jordan had no choice but to follow.Unexpectedly, Ben leaned over again at this time. Carter walked directly to the baseline and walked around Ben. Cassel looked in the direction of Brent Barry, as if he was going to pass the ball.

The path of the ball suddenly changed, turning from Cassel's hand to the basket, just as Carter came from the baseline, jumped high, then grabbed the basketball and dunked it backhand.

"Wow, Vince's dunk, here it is, so beautiful."

"The dunk away from Jordan was very beautiful. To be able to perform such wonderful coordination at this moment is worthy of being an alien combination." Cassell is an alien and Carter is a UFO. It just so happens that neither of them is something that earthlings can do.

Carter quietly went back to defend. He didn't want to anger Jordan.As long as the team wins, nothing else matters.

At this time, Michael Jordan began to try to shoot from beyond the three-point line, but failed to score.Fortunately, Jordan's three-pointer is really a six-vein sword.

"Damn it, this game failed." Phil Jackson was very depressed. He lost at the last moment of the last game, which is understandable. After all, the Nets had a lore.

The Nets beat the Bulls last season. Carter seems to be particularly prone to scoring buzzer-beating goals against the Bulls.In this season's games, the gap between the two sides has further narrowed. The Bulls have already lost one game, and this one is going to be difficult to watch.

4 points behind.After Ben grabbed the rebound, he protected it in his arms and gave it to Cassel.Phil Jackson had already called a timeout, and Calipari immediately made substitutions, taking the opportunity to replace Ben and Brent Barry.

At critical moments, Ben and Brent are more likely to make mistakes, and the starting players are more able to withstand pressure.

"Ben and Brent, you performed very well and withstood the pressure of the championship level." Calipari encouraged the players. The two of them seemed to be players who would stay in the Nets, and it was appropriate to send encouragement.

Robert Pike and Jason Williams, and even McDaniel, are clearly showing signs of leaving the team.Jason Williams got the best data, but his position inside was challenged by Rasheed, and Robert Pike always wanted to start, which was too difficult.

McDaniel is about to retire. In the past two years, he has earned more than 100 million US dollars through stock trading. As long as he makes money, he will invest all of it. His almost stud attitude has caused the stock market to rise.

"Brothers, the Bulls are going to go crazy in the next game, we have to hold on!" McDaniel took a deep breath, his chest feeling tight, "Jason, can you handle it?"

Joe Taub is also thinking about these issues, including John Nash, who is also observing the team's performance. "Perhaps, our management should also do something? Help the team become more stable."

"Yeah, it's really hard to beat the Bulls in the series."

Carter scored again, raising his personal score to 35 points.After the attack just now, Luke Longley fouled, giving Carter a chance to hit a three-pointer.

"Michael Jordan scored 40 points, but the team was 5 points behind. Carter only scored 35 points, but the team was 5 points ahead. It's very strange." The commentator was extremely happy. At the Nets' home court, he could relax and talk, "Last A win at the Bulls' home court, and this win at the Nets' home court."

"Vince, I love you!" The fans in the audience were already going crazy and kept shouting Carter's name.

Facing the Bulls in the series, they have already gained a big advantage.

2:1. After three games, no one could have expected that the Nets would take the lead.

Phil Jackson also relieved the players after the game, "You go to the nightclub in New York and enjoy the day. Relax, guys, we are just behind by a big score, and it is not the critical moment yet."

"Yes, listen to me, I will win the series." Jordan stated to his teammates, "I will let the Nets go home to fish. You all should be ready for me. Our goal is only the championship!"

A series victory is too early to say.
